How to Care for Your Designer Jeans

by Pixie

A few tried-and-true tips to keep your designer jeans in tip-top shape!

1) Wear your jeans for as long as possible between washes. This will help them form to your exact shape, giving you an amazing fit.

2) Wash stretch jeans more often. If they have 2-4% stretch, they will loosen up after a few hours of wearing so buy them a size smaller.

3) Wash them inside out & in cold water to protect the color. Wash with your other jeans to prevent color bleeding.

4) Don't dry your jeans! For stretch jeans, tumble dry for only about a half hour. Drying breaks down the elasticity in the fabric, so do it as little as possible. Tip: air dry them most of the way and then toss them in for about 10-15 minutes to snug them up.

5) Hang your jeans. This helps them keep their shape in between wearings.
